Vista Sucks (still)

This time it’s just little old me. I’ve been working on an ActiveX wrapper for our new plugin software (since IE doesn’t support Netscape-style plug-ins since 5.5 sp2, the buggers). Up until last Wednesday, it was working fine. Then I downloaded an update to Visual Studio. Now my compiled version of the control works fine on my Parallels XP/IE7 and Vista/IE7, but it crashes on native Vista/IE7. The assertion looks like it cannot create a new window for the plugin to load into.

OK, so I guess this is more a Visual Studio gripe for breaking their own code (yes, the assertion is in their own codebase, not mine). Still, can’t MS do anything right?
